Why turn on the Candle?

In the Orthodox tradition, the Candle is placed in front of the holy icons, in the “iconostasis” of the house and it burns each day. The monks explain that the Candle has a symbolic significance. As the candle burns in the oil, so does the souls seeking God’s mercy, “burning” our own will and doing the will of God.

A clean lamp with pure olive oil is a sign of respect and worship. It is used as a blessing for the house and its members who curate lighting the candle and pray at the same time. In many monasteries, the best oil of the year, the most excellent monastic oil, devote to light the candles in the church and chapels and then the cells. In this way monks reveal the dedication of their life and works to God. Usually the lighting of the candle is the work of the monk in charge of the deaconship “responsible for the church”.
